Chrome engine parts on semi's is rather odd. But, I like using them anyways just for the artisticness of it.

Nice build. It sound like it is an easy assembly kit.

That is very creative. Kudos to you.

You have done a masterful job on the conversion. My display case will be happy to hold it once you have tired of it. (Not likely but one can always hope)

The detailing in the interior is awesome.

Way cool. Following.

The remaining goodies.

The blowers and wheels.

My Shapeways order came today. Lots of cool very detailed items.

I have two tricks for you. Get some 3/8" foam backer rod to hold the sidewalls against the rim lips. Or get some Moebius replacements.

I too am very impressed. Very well done.

Wow that is pretty cool. After hunting for pics of it. I found these:

Very nice phantom. It would be a nice one to try in the future.

That is one very nice build. I like what you did on the interior.

Sam, After your generousity, I would be happy to make decals for you! PM me

I like the concept as well. Following.

How much and how long did it take them?

That is a nice contrast on the fuel tanks.

Thank you Dan. ? I have done no body work on this or my previous T600. Did you have fitment problems?

That is a pretty cool racer.

I like your proposed option list and colors. Following.

My LHS closed its doors recently. Their paint selection for cars had been somewhat limited for some time. I have noticed the price of spray cans are getting outright ridiculous. I have seen videos of people painting with Testors bottle enamel by just air brushing it in a 50-50 mix with lacquer thinner. Even at $3 a bottle that makes it way cheaper than $12.99 a can of Duplicolor. I went hunting on ebay for some metallics and got these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/353507255089

Leave the door open -or- unwire a heating element (if there are more than one)-or- Plug it into a timer that will turn it on and off on a regular basis. Myself I would wire in a thermostat that has the appropriate temperature range.

I have these 75 Oldsmobile promo wheels I will never use. They do not have the peaked domes but they have the flutes around the perimeter. Got any 60-70's vintage Oldsmobile engines for trade?

Sweet build. I want one in that color too.
